LOCKDOWN AND STORE CREDITS We still WANT your used records as trade-ins.

When taking over Millpond, we had agreed to continue with the store credits. The lockdown will make it difficult to claim these. SO>… the solution. TADA!

If you have store credits, please contact me, vince, between 3 and 5 pm at 519-623-4050 and i’ll set you up with a digital coupon you can use for your ONLINE purchases now.

Vince (Venanzio) Jelenic

Owner of Millpond

I got into this business a while back (2003) because I know how important music and books are in this digital age – and I want to create and maintain a place for people to (re)discover the songs and stories that they love.

When you visit you may be greeted by Vince, or Joule (an adventuresome but really friendly black cat) I am thrilled to continue to build the Millpond vision of a community-oriented shop for quality affordable books and music in the picturesque West Galt area of Cambridge. Just a hop away from the Grand River, and adjacent to the new Gaslight district, a hopping area of town that will soon have many exciting amenities for the visitors to our store.

Looking forwards to meeting you 🙂

Also: Canada POST raised prices... again.

This makes it more convenient to order online, AND get flat rate shipping if you order 3 records or more. Sorry, out of our control.

Imagine.... it's now cheaper for me to ship to California (with UPS) than to Toronto (with Canada Post). Sad but true.

Long version below: but well worth the read!

Ok, going from watching the tides come in and out.

we progressed from that to hiding out in a cave for a bit.

It's been quite a ride reviving Millpond, but a lot of fun along the way.

The following might be a bit to digest, but trust me , it's worth the read.
